Overview
This HTS category, 7317.00.30.00, specifically classifies threaded nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples, and similar articles manufactured from iron or steel. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the presence of threads along the shaft of the fastener, which are designed to engage with a material when driven, providing enhanced holding power. These items are distinct from those designed for powder-actuated handtools.
This classification is differentiated from its sibling, 7317.00.20.00, by the presence of threading. While both categories encompass similar articles of iron or steel, the sibling category covers items that are *not* threaded. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor is the threaded nature of the fastener's shaft, which influences its application and holding mechanism.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 7317.00.30.00. This means that all threaded nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples, and similar articles of iron or steel, provided they are not specifically designed for use in powder-actuated handtools, fall directly into this classification. Examples include common wood screws, drywall screws, and certain types of threaded masonry nails that are not intended for specialized power-driven applications.
